WSDOT Pavement Guide

Description:

This guide is the product of WSDOT pavement experience, research (state, national, international) and various analyses. The need for this document became more apparent as WSDOT adopted new state-of-the-practice and state-of-the-art design practices. Further, the manual will be of value to both District and Headquarters personnel in designing and evaluating pavement structures. Possibly as important, is the need to understand why pavements perform the way they do. These kinds of issues were not addressed in prior versions of the WSDOT Design Manual.

The Pavement Guide will not remain static. It will be updated and revised to incorporate new, improved concepts and designs. The current version is available for purchase from WSDOT Engineering Publications: E-mail Engineering Publications
